I have had sort of a slow three weeks sewing-wise. I got the pieced back of a quilt done, a few of my string quilt blocks, and finished all of my log-cabin blocks. Between being out-of-town, having company and being sick, it has been slow. Hope to get more done in the coming weeks.

I won an embroidered rooster that I can use a basis for a pot-holder or other kitchen item. Bejeweled Barb is utilizing her new embroidery machine and I am a lucky recipient.

This is a picture of my log cabin blocks. It does not look like 48 blocks but it is, and putting them together was very time-consuming. I hope to get them sewn together next week.

About Me

I started my quilting journey here in Austin, TX. I started out with a quilting class making the "Farmer's Wife" Quilt. At that point I was all about floral and reproduction Civil War fabric. My journey continued when I joined the Austin Modern Quilt Guild. I learned to appreciate a more modern aesthetic. I later went on to become president of the group for a year and attended QuiltCon during that time. I learned a lot about both piecing and quilting techniques and about my love for more modern fabric. Yeah Kaffe. Yeah Amy Butler.
